Lenna Boroff Kutner, 68, of Gloucester and formerly of Wayland, passed away on Feb. 6, 2026, following a short battle with brain cancer. She was the beloved widow of Robert Kutner and the devoted mother of Daniel Kutner. She also leaves behind her sister-in-law and brother-in-law, Susan and Richard Kutner, and their family; as well as her sister-in-law, Janet Kutner.

Lenna attended the University of Massachusetts and Northeastern University and taught computers to middle schoolers in the early 2000s, and later to senior residents in Newton. She later volunteered her time as a librarian at the Auburndale Community Library.

Lenna spent countless days walking her golden retriever Geti at Norumbega Park. She wrote a children’s book, “The Magic of Norumbega,” centered around the grounds’ history as a former amusement park.

A Celebration of Life will be planned for a later date. Donations can be made in Lenna’s memory to St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital at 501 St. Jude Place Memphis, TN 38105 or at stjude.org/donate.
